I bought a used car and had an accident the next day.

As many people know, we need to pay attention to many aspects, such as the age of the car and check the condition of the car, such as the engine, brakes and transmission. And you also need to know the source of the car and whether the license plate is complete. In fact, there is still a very important factor that has been ignored by everyone, that is, whether there was an accident in the used car. Relatively speaking, the probability of engine failure of used cars with accidents will increase. If the accident directly hurts the engine, it will also pose a threat to your future car safety, so you must pay attention to judging whether there has been an accident when buying a used car. So how do you judge whether a used car is an accident car? Look down: 1. Look straight at the front and rear tires on the left and right to see if the front and rear tires are in a straight line. If they are not in a straight line, then the whole frame of this car has been crooked, and it is highly recommended to buy it. 2. Measure the gap between the rear side of the platform and the wheel housing. If the average car is ok, the gap should be almost the same. If the gap is large, it means that the body has been distorted and it is not recommended to buy it. 3. Look for the marks after opening the hood and look at the two longitudinal beams that run through the whole engine room. Usually, it is not easy to see under the battery, but it is easy to observe on the left side. Check them for signs of welding or cracking. If it is an accident of rear-end collision or side impact, the frame will be squeezed, bent or cracked, and it needs welding maintenance. 4. Look for cracks to check the fender part of the car, which is also the key part to judge whether the overall body of the car has an accident. If there are traces such as welding or cracking, it means that a side collision accident has occurred; If there are conditions for ditching, you can obviously check. Through the above four steps, you can clearly judge whether a car is an accident car. If you are still not confident in your own judgment, then we suggest that if you want to buy a used car, you'd better bring friends who know and trust used cars for reference.
